Visual Arts

Students are given experiences in a range of creative and technical activities, allowing them to make artworks and bodies of work using 2D, 3D and 4D expressive forms:

• 2D forms include flat works e.g. painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital media and collage

• 3D forms include works that involve volume and mass and exist in space e.g. sculpture, ceramics, textiles and fibre, designed objects and environments

• 4D forms include works that exist in real and virtual time e.g. time-based works, film and video, digital animation, documented forms, multimedia and performance works.

Students will develop knowledge and the skills to make artworks informed by their understanding of artistic practice, the conceptual framework and the frames. A visual arts process diary will be used to record artmaking ideas and intentions. Students are encouraged to develop a personal visual language to enable them to make more highly developed artistic statements using the concept of a ‘body of work’. This may include one or more individual works that can be related through the interpretation of subject matter.

Art theory, including Art Criticism and Art History, is linked to the practical artmaking. This includes an investigation of how the works of artists and designers have interpreted ideas, issues and events, and how circumstances, beliefs and technologies affect what has been produced.
